Joan Cox hi Joan... I've been watching my neighbors all "busy as bees" spiffing up their yards these past few days... often just to have an excuse to get out of the house. But the bonus is a pretty yard once they are done.

Hello Nina - the reasons to improve one's curb appeal has many benefits.  Aesthetically pleasing is good regardless of any decision to move. Therapeutic is yet another and the ability to express creativity is not one to overlook.   Your plant guide is well-organized, helpful and offer some nice "eye candy".

Michael Jacobs hi Michael.. thank you. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a gardener... regardless of the circumstances. But I do know whom to call to boost my own curb appeal. Hopefully for those who like to dig around in the dirt... this will be helpful and an incentive to do so.

Joan Cox hi Joan... as you know, that's not quite my idea of fun. Right now I'm staying indoors as much as possible... the yellow pollen which I'm very allergic to has hit us hard and several weeks early this season.

Nina the first impression of a house is very important, and having beautiful plants and flowers goes a long way in making sure the first impression is a positive one.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel hi Alexandra... I love all that, myself. I just don't love making it happen! With the shelter in place orders in NC until April 29th, it was interesting for me to see just how many more of my neighbors were out there these past few days sprucing up their yards instead of relying on their landscape companies. Can't say I did anything, but I did have some nice chats over the fences with neighbors!

George Souto hi George... home sellers often don't realize how important that first impression of a home is to buyers... and that includes landscaping, condition of a home's exterior, outdoor lighting, etc.

could use attention. Thank you for adding to my list 🤓

Hi Nina:

That's a great idea and there are multiple benefits - for the house, your mood and health, and your neighbors! While we have flowers year-round those in the spring are some of my favorites!

That's a terrific graphic!
